- Waste minimisation
- Systems for separation at source
- Reuse and recycling (including energy recovery) to the greatest possible extent
- Safe disposal of untreatable wastes

Customised systems for industry

Starting from the market available for recycled raw materials, Ragn-Sells develops eco-cycle systems that correspond to the service level and cost-efficiency requirements from industry. We are convinced that one of the keys to creating successful eco-cycle systems for our customers lies in our knowledge of the market for buying and using recycled materials such as glass, paper, plastics, metals, and rubber. The decisive factor is knowing the quality, quantity and delivery assurance requirements of the buyers/users.
